Title: Show Cocker Groomers in London
Post by: Cassie01 on February 06, 2013, 05:54:46 PM

Having previously had not such a great experience I would really love to have a recommended groomer to go to.

Although I have bought much of the kit required to groom my pup I am not at all confident in moving past the comb/elastic band/coat king stage and I fear messing up with regards to scissors/shaping/ear thinning etc. Can anyone vouch for/recommend a groomer in the London area who knows how to present a show cocker?

I'm based in SW London but am happy to travel across town for a recommended groomer.

Any input would be much appreciated - thanks :-)

Thanks, Wendy

I do remember reading about that workshop a while ago and expressing an interest in it.

I've booked this morning and we'll try to make it for the full day.

Thanks again :-)
